Michael's Breakfast Okonomiyaki

Stuffed Japanese Pancakes! Makes two (2). 

Base Ingredients: 
  • 1 cup of flour 
  • 1 cup of water 
  • 1 egg, beaten (the binding agent) 
  • 2 cups of shredded cabbage 
  • 1 1/2 cup of bean sprouts 
  • 2 tablespoons of sesame oil (to fry in) 

Secondary Ingredients ("Michael chow" style): 
  • 1/2 cup of green onion 
  • 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese 
  • 1/3 cup of white onion (fine chop) 
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder 

Other ingredients may be added to suit taste! Note - Either tiny shrimp, or thin sliced pork, beef, or chicken are optional. Add 1 cup of either, making sure to fully cook the meat first, before adding. 

1) Mix all ingredients (except the sesame oil) in a large bowl, either by hand or with large wooden spoon. 
2) Fry half of the combined ingredients in a large pan with 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, at the same temperature as you would pancakes, until the insides are cooked. When you can press down without it leaking, it should be done. Use a knife to check that it's cooked throughout. 
3) Serve with okonomiyaki sauce (or mild barbecue sauce) and Japanese mayonnaise (or plain mayo).
Omm-nom-nom!!

  2. Ahaha! I love the "Michael chow" style. This sounds awesome, I may use some bok choy as the cabbage, since we got a ton of it in our csa box this week. :)
